The best medical writers claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non-irritating, easy of application, and
one that will by its action, reach all the
remote sores and liberated surfaces. The
history of the effort to treat cstarrh du-
ring the past few years obliges us to adj
nit that only one remedy has completely
met these conditions, and that is Elys
Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant
remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing
else has ever done, and both physicians
and patients freely concede this fact The
more distressing symptoms quickly yield
to it.

n Curious Plant.

In most large greenhouses there is
usually found plant, which is Guilt
waited as curiosity rather than for its
beauty-the elephants Foot" This
comes from the Cape of Good Hope, and
belongs to the Yam Family. The true
Vans produce large, fleshy, edible
tubers, which grow entirely under
ground; but in this, the corresponding
portion, or root-stock, grows entirely
above ground. 1t is hemispherical, and
varies from one to four feet in diameter,
with'a thick, corky bark which is broken
up into squares, which give it the ap-
pearance of the shell of n tortoise.
whence the name Testudo, n tortoise.
The interior of this is fleshy, and from
having been used as food by the natives,
"Hottentot's Bread" is one of its COM
mon names in South Africa. Nothing
can be more unpromising and lifeless in
appearance than one Of these root-stocks,
yet given proper heat and moisture, it
will push forth shoots which develop into
vines, which climb to the height of thir-
ty or forty feet, and, being clothed with
an abundance of heart-shaped, bright
green leaves, are in marked contrast
with the lifeless appearance of the root
stock from which they spring. Like the
Vans, the flowers in this arc inconspicu-
Gus, with the two sexes on different
plants, and unless one has plants of both
sexes, which is rarely the case, seeds can
not be produced. The appearance Of
the root-stock suggested the specific
name, Elephantipes, Elephants Foot.
Another species, r. Montana, is found
at the Cape, and still another is native
of Mexico. -[American Agriculturist.
